Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - Kabul: Iranian media reported, citing port officials in the country, that this operation was the first experience of using a specific route and a combined mode of transportation from Khorramshahr port and could play an important role in developing new export routes.
According to officials, using a combined road and rail network will reduce transportation costs, increase transportation speed, and improve safety in transporting essential goods, including liquefied natural gas.
However, Iranian media did not mention the amount of gas exported to Afghanistan.
Economic experts also believe that the development of such routes could help improve Afghanistan's access to energy resources, especially liquefied natural gas, and contribute to the relative stability of prices in the country's domestic market.
In recent years, the Islamic Emirate has tried to meet the basic needs of its citizens at lower costs and with more sustainable resources by expanding regional cooperation and diversifying import routes.
Increasing trade interactions between Afghanistan and Iran are also considered part of this trend.
